Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library
Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.This is really old, not sure how much still applies:

Try to open itunes it says "itunes does not appear to be a valid music file
i've uninstalled itunes before and reinstalled it off of the internet and i try to open it and it says "the file "itunes library.itl" does not appear to be a valid music library file. itunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to itunes library (damaged)
Back up your music and then uninstall it; while the uninstallation process doesn't affect the library, other things can.

I downloaded the new version of Itunes but it is missing all of my playlists. And I've purchased new music now in the new Itunes but it will not upload to my IPod
Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”. Is this how an apple works? It doesn't? Why all of a sudden is it doing this? Please help. Thank you.
DavidDid you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

Every couple of weeks I get this iTunes error after connecting iPod Nano 6th generation. Then it deletes my whole iPod content. I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise with latest patches, iTunes 10.2.2.14 and McAfee antivirus.
I tried to reinstall QuickTime + iTunes, clean the system and then reinstall. But this does not work. I also tried to create a brand new library. But no success...
Error: "The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to iTunes Library (Damaged) 3.itl."
Any idea?No I haven't. I tried almost everything possible but without any remarkable shift. I am about to sell my brand new iPod:(

My computer crashed when I was using Itunes. I got everything up and running and got this message "The File “itunes library.til” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to “iTunes Library (Damaged itl)” Everything loads up put in takes 10 min. then my music playlists are deleted everytime I turn Itunes on. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.
Hi shyanne23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iTunes library file has become damaged in some way, you may want to try recreating your iTunes library and playlists by following this article:

Xml/itl-"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid..
"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl"
does enyone know how to fix this for ever?
thanks.Katrina, created test, copied ITL (I Tunes Library file?) across, did the shift thing, I Tunes opens with my songs, created a play list, closed I tunes, re-opened it, play list still there. Is that what you mean?
I think I have some other issues as well.
I Tunes says 2477 songs/485 artists, my I Pod has 300 more.
Windows explorer suggests 589 artists (I keep library organised) I've lost the connection to the "movie" folder.
Also despite songs appearing in the library, they won't play in I Tunes at all. Fine on Ipod (although not docked since this started), fine with other media. players in same location.
Is this a nightmare where I have to delete everything & start again?

ITuneslibrary.itl does not appear to be a valid itunes library file
My computer had problems and I had to reinstall all my programs. I just had to reinstall itunes 8.0.1.11. I uninstalled itunes and after reinstalling and importing my songs backed up on a flash drive I now get a message stating:
iTunes file "iTuneslibrary.itl" does not appear to be a valid library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and remamed this file to "iTuneslibrary(Damaged).itl"
What can be done to restore everything so the error message goes away and all my songs are in iTunes?
Thanksactually I am having the same problems. it happened shortly after I installed itunes 8, however this also coincided with some music uploading. My problem is traced now through three different machines, all with the same mp3 library. However mine may be a little more problematic, because after I get this message, I quit itunes, then when I restart it I get the message about "itunes cannot run because of of its required files are missing. please reinstall itunes" Which I do and a few hours or days later I am faced with the exact same problem. I have tried re-writing my libray.xml file, re-importing library files, erasing all traces of itunes from my computer, installing on a fresh hard drive, and I even scanned all my mp3's using symantec antivirus, nothing appears strange. I am at a loss, and cannot find an answer. Does anyone have an answer?

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.
The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file
i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.
I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.

Help!! "This does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL" -- but it is!
I'm having trouble subscribing to the Vatican Radio podcast (English version). I recently moved to a new computer and resubscribed to all my podcasts. This is the only one that won't work for me.
I've contacted the Radio Vatican webmaster and he's confirmed I'm using the right URL - www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml
But when I subscribe to it through either the iTunes Music Store or the iTunes "Advanced" menu I get the reply - "http:www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL. Please check that you have entered the correct URL and try again."
I'm able to download individual programs through the Music Store, but it won't take a subscription for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas? I've never faced this before.
FYi I'm using the latest version of iTunes on a MacBook with version 10.4.7.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)Plug that URL into a feed checker site, and you get a "mass" of errors. Pass that along to them, they need to fix these errors.

MBP, OS10.8.2, iTunes11
When i close the iTunes, and try and reopen, sometimes i get an error message the "file "" cannot be read because it does not appear to be a valid library file".
When i restart the computer it seems to be a temporary fix.
This started happening when i upgarded to iTunes10.7, and the problem still persists in iTunes11.

ITunes Does Not Appear in the List of Default Programs?
My wife is trying to get iTunes to be her default media player, using the instructions found at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3202.
However, when she goes to the list of default programs, following steps 1 and 2 at that link, iTunes does not appear in the list.
How can we correct this?
Thanks very much in advance for any info.Vik-
I was having this same problem. I understood how to change the default program but like yours my iTunes was not in the list so therefore I was unable to set it to default.
This worked for me: (I have Vista)
I checked for updates on my iTunes program and there was an overdue update. I installed and restarted iTunes. Then went to my Default Programs tab and followed the instructions just as described in the support material and after my installation of the newest update my iTunes was now listed in the lineup of available default programs.
I hope this works for you as well!
Thanks and good luck!
